Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate and analyze the actual conditions of the environmental factors and posture factors that cause musculoskeletal disorders during the work of physical therapists and analyze the results. It was conducted to propose improvement measures according to the manual for prevention of musculoskeletal diseases by the Korea Occupational Safety & Health Agency and to find out the results.
Method: In this study, 30 workers in the field of nervous system therapy, 30 persons in the field of musculoskeletal treatment field, totaling 60 subjects were targeted. For the measurement method, video of physical therapist's treatment was taken for 30 minutes. The posture of work was analyzed with 15 cuts at 2minute intervals. The evaluation tool used posture analysis using OWAS and REBA. The musculoskeletal and nervous system subjects identified problems and measured changes after 2 weeks of intervention through the appropriate Korea Occupational Safety & Health Agency's musculoskeletal disease prevention manual.
Result: The prevalence and characteristic distribution by body site were the highest percentages of back pain in both nervous system field and musculoskeletal field. Work posture distribution according to OWAS criteria showed a significant decrease in body, legs, weight, and action in the field of nervous system (p<0.05), showed a significant decrease in legs and action in the field of musculoskeletal system (p<0.05). The working attitude distribution according to the REBA evaluation standards all showed a significant decrease.
